Group of answer choices
A. ruler, balance
B. beaker, crucible
C. flask, Bunsen burner
D. graduated cylinder, balance
Answer:
D. graduated cylinder, balance
Explanation:
In this scenario, A student has been assigned to measure the density of an irregularly shaped piece of metal.
The apparatus which would be most appropriate to carry out this task is a graduated cylinder and balance.
A graduated cylinder can be defined as a measuring cylinder used for the measurement of the volume of an irregularly shaped piece of metal or liquids. It is typically marked with horizontal lines on its side as units of measurement for volume. The balance is then used to weigh the metals mass.
Answer:
Explanation:
If there is only 1 force, the body can never be in equilibrium, providing that the force is not zero (and that would hardly be a force. Zero is possible in math and it means something. It is debatable in physics).
You cannot think of a condition where something is stationary on planet earth and there are not 2 forces or more forces involved.
Think of something like a block of wood sitting on a table. It is not moving, we'll say. Gravity is holding it down, but what is pushing up on it?
The table is. There are 2 forces and they are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction. That matters.
C. When ever it comes to questions like these, I like to think of a seesaw with a huge amount of weight on one end. Which position would work best for that? With the effort arm being longer, you have more leverage so the load arm will move easier.
Answer: Plant A
Explanation: The control group is participants who do not receive the experimental treatment.
